. IMPROVEMENT IN REVOLVING HAEROW m GULTIVATORi' 6th: 5:11am refemt it in that Enters new ant writing: art rt its arms TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: a l v Be itknown that I, AMOS NEWELL, of the city, county, and State ofi'New'Ymk, have invented at and improved Revolving Harrow and Cultivator; and I do hereby declare that the ftrldowing is a full andiexact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and tmt'he letters of reference mmzized' thereon, making part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in rotating a spiked cylindrical or Beam over the surface of the ground by means of proper geared wheels, actuated by the main or carnyingw'linels of the accompanying cart or wagon, or by means of a chain or chains passing over proper groovedl angs of the desired dihmeter; which may be difl'erent diameters so as to give an increased motion of the spiked liarrttwgflii desired. I i

To enable othersskilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceeditwdesnribe its construction and operation; 7

On the axle of'an ordinary two wheele d cart, inside the proper position 'ofi 'tliewheel-hubs, I fasten'or. secure two beams, E, which are firmly secured around the axle by means of a cap secnrediliy'proper bo ltsi- At the lower end, having the same securing arrangements as the axle ends, I place a cylindi' iba'l or polygonal liieam, having a gudgeon at each end, rnd furnished with blunt, strong iron spikes when tliermacii'ihe is used for. harrowing, and with curved sharpened teeth for cultivating pgirposes. This harrow or cultivator is made to revolve by connecting it with the cart-wheels by a couple of iron chains, D D, in the following'jtnahrnen: Secured finmly, and forming a part of the inside band of each wheel-hub, is the fixed portion of thexclirt'clil-G. The movable part of said clutch forms also the pulley, having a groove adapted for a. chain band or beltt- -T-hese pulleyrand clutches combined, 0., are thrown in gear by means of a-lever, which is represented in: thee drawings at H H when in gear, cause the pulleys to revolve with the wheels. Overthese pulleys pass ch aiitilie-lts, one fore'ach side of the cart; and which chains pass around a pair of pulleys, which are shown in'the drawing-emf; B B. 'l liese small pulleys B 13 form a fixed part of the revolving spiked harrow A. i

When the cart is drawnbver the ground with the tworpu-lley clutches in gear, the spiked harrow revolhes and pulverizes the earth. The speed of harrow A, as regards rotation, depends on the natureC-o f work required, and depends on the relative diameters of the axle and barrow pulleys. Gears, also, may be usediwh'en desi'ralile. When the barrow is not required, for instance, when returning home, it can be hauled ofii tlie ground liy means of the lever G and chain F, as shown in the drawings.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- I I claim the combination and arrangement of a spiked barrow, substantially in the manner 'aald iforitliei pur poses described. I
